Activities in higher education during the biennium 1924-1926 do not seem to have been inspired merely by the desire to pacify criticism of details or to patch up weak spots in the educational fabric. The tendency was to "raise the previous question concerning the functions of colleges and universities and to modify procedures to serve more perfectly the purposes accepted as basic. This survey of higher education during the two years is an attempt to present briefly some of the events of action and of discussion which have promoted or obstructed the tendencies to restate higher educational objectives and to reconstitute college and university organization and procedures.
